Sometimes it becomes necessary to save svg as png using the browser. Unfortunately, the browser does not have a magic API that would allow this to be done without various hacks. What to do if you still want to achieve what you want?

The first idea that came to my mind was to do this through canvas, which has a method toDataURL("image/png");
So, I wrote a simple script: jsfiddle, github:

Var html = document.querySelector("svg").parentNode.innerHTML; var imgsrc = "data:image/svg+xml;base64," + btoa(html); var canvas = document.querySelector("canvas"), context = canvas.getContext("2d"); canvas.setAttribute("width", 526); canvas.setAttribute("height", 233); var image = new Image; image.src = imgsrc; image.onload = function () ( context.drawImage(image, 0, 0); var canvasdata = canvas.toDataURL("image/png"); var a = document.createElement("a"); a.textContent = " save"; a.download = "export_" + Date.now() + ".png"; a.href = canvasdata; document.body.appendChild(a); canvas.parentNode.removeChild(canvas); );

The essence of the script is simple: I converted svg to dataUri, loaded it via image, drew a picture on canvas and turned it into png. It seemed that the goal had been achieved and we could relax. This approach worked in Firefox and Chrome, but when I opened it in everyone's favorite browser, IE, I got this wonderful error:

The fact is that IE believes that the image was loaded from another host. Unfortunately, you won't be able to set origin for dataUri. Actually, a description of the rules can be found here: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/scripting.html#security-with-canvas-elements. It was possible, of course, to proxy the svg through the server, and then everything would work, but I wanted a purely client-side solution.

And then I remembered the wonderful canvg library. Using this library, I draw svg on canvas, and then proceed as in the first option: take toDataURL("image/png") . The result is this simple code: github:

Var svg = document.querySelector("svg"); var canvas = document.createElement("canvas"); canvas.height = svg.getAttribute("height"); canvas.width = svg.getAttribute("width"); canvg(canvas, svg.parentNode.innerHTML.trim()); var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL("image/png"); var data = atob(dataURL.substring("data:image/png;base64,".length)), asArray = new Uint8Array(data.length); for (var i = 0, len = data.length; i< len; ++i) { asArray[i] = data.charCodeAt(i); } var blob = new Blob(, {type: "image/png"}); saveAs(blob, "export_" + Date.now() + ".png");

It’s worth mentioning here that I also used the FileSaver library to bring up the save dialog box.
That's all, we have achieved the desired result.

One thing worth noting is that I wondered about saving svg to png when I was writing the tauCharts export plugin. Since styles in svg are set from external file To achieve maximum similarity with the original svg, I insert an inline style into the svg. And we get this result.

I hope the article will be useful to you and save your time.

In one of the projects, small icons in svg format were displayed near the menu, and it was necessary that when you hover the cursor over a menu item, the text and icon change color. In order not to reproduce a large number of pictures, it was decided to translate svg into code and use it in CSS styles.

Brief instructions on how to use SVG in CSS

We use the resulting code in our css file.

For example, take the Facebook icon (standard icon with a slight modification).

On the website https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/ click "Open SVG" or simply drag the icon onto the viewing area. In the upper left corner click "CODE", highlight the code, and then click on copy icon, so we will get the code of our SVG image into the buffer.

Something like this:

Then paste the resulting code into the window above, click Converte and get the finished code background-image:

Background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml;charset=UTF-8,%3csvg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20"%3e%3cpath fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" fill="%23FFF" d="M12.748 16v-1h6v1h-6zm0-3h6v1h-6v-1zm4 5h -4v-1h4v1zM13.748 9.975v-3h-4v-1c0-1.104.896-2 2-2h2v-2.95h-2c-2.8.256-5 2.583-5 5.45 0 .017.005.032.005.05h-.005v.45h -3v3h3v8h3v-8h4z"/%3e%3c/svg%3e");

Copy and use it in your css.

To change the color, change fill="%23FFF" , just keep in mind that %23 is a regular # sign, that is, fill="%23000" is a regular black (#000).

Depending on Why you want to convert from .png to .svg, you may not have to worry. Converting from .png (raster) to .svg (vector) can be a pain if you are not very familiar with the tools available or if you are not a graphic designer by trade.

If someone sends you a large file with high resolution(eg 1024x1024), you can resize it to almost any size you want to use in GIMP. It's common to have problems resizing an image if the resolution (pixels per inch) is too low. To fix this in GIMP you can:

1. File -> Open: your .png file
2. Image -> Image Properties: Check resolution and color space. You want a resolution of around 300 ppi. In most cases, you want the color space to be RGB.
3. Image -> Mode: Set the RGB value
4. Image -> Scale Image: Leave the size separate, and set the Y resolution to 300 or more. Hit scale.
5. Image -> Scale Image: The resolution should now be 300 and you can now resize the image to almost any size.

Not as easy as resizing a .svg file, but certainly easier and faster than trying to convert a .png to .svg if you already have a large, high-resolution image.

with adobe illustrator:

Open Adobe Illustrator. Click "File" and select "Open" to load the .PNG file into the program. Extract the image as needed before saving it as an .SVG file. Click "File" and select "Save As." Create a new file name or use an existing name. Make sure the selected file type is SVG. Select a directory and click "Save" to save the file.

i prefer AI because you can make any changes

I just found this question and answers as I'm trying to do the same thing! I didn't want to use some of the other tools mentioned. (Don't want to send my email and don't want to pay). I found that Inkscape (v0.91) can do quite a Good work. This tutorial is quick and easy to understand.

It's as simple as choosing bitmap in Inkscape and Shift + Alt + B.

Sudo apt-get install potrace imagemagick convert -flatten input.png output.pbm potrace -s output.pbm -o output.svg rm output.pbm

There is a website where you can upload your image and see the result.

But if you want to download the svg image, you need to register. (If you register you will receive 2 images for free)

However, this is not ideal.

Png is a bitmap style and SVG is a vector style graphic design, which supports raster images, so it won't convert the image to vectors, but just the image embedded in a vector format. You can do this using http://www.inkscape.org/ which is free. It will inject it, however it also has a Live Trace engine that will try to convert it to paths if you want (using potrace). See Direct Tracing in Adobe Illustrator (commercial) is an example:

I assume you want to write software for this. To do this naively, you simply find the lines and set the vectors. To do this intelligently, you try to fit the figures to the drawing (model fitting). Additionally, you should try to define raster regions (regions that you can't model using shames or applying textures. I wouldn't recommend going this route as it will take quite a long time and require a bit of graphics and computer vision knowledge However, the output will be significantly and scale much better than your original result.

If you are in some Linux system, imagemagick is perfect. Those.

Convert somefile.png somefile.svg

This works with tons of different formats.

However, for other media such as video and audio (ffmpeg), I know you clearly stated png to svg; It's still about the media.

Ffmpeg -i somefile.mp3 somefile.ogg

Just a hint if you want to go through a lot of files; loop using basic shell tricks.

For f in *.jpg; do convert $f $(f%jpg)png; done

This removes the jpg and adds the png, which tells it to convert what you want.

The simplest way to trace an artwork is to open or place the file in Adobe Illustrator and automatically trace it using the Trace Image command: Illustrator Help. Using the Image Trace Tool - CS6

*Even simpler):
Using software, the image/picture/drawing/photograph you provide is converted into a vector for 1(!) euro -> Image to vector

=== Online services ===

• The first one is paid, although two images to start with can be made for free.

In English, although it’s not difficult to understand. There are two options for using it – online or buying a computer program. The price for online use (unlimited) is $7.95, the desktop program costs $295.00. It is possible to order manual tracing.
Of course, you can find cheaper ones on freelance portals, but the choice is up to everyone.

Accuracy

Above are some comparison images of Vector Magic, Adobe Live Trace (CS6) and Corel
Corel PowerTRACE (X6). Pay attention to the careful processing of shapes by Vector.

Ease of use

You do not need to install and know a great many options and settings to achieve an acceptable result.

You just need to answer a couple of simple questions and that’s it. If the result is not satisfactory, there is a “troubleshooting” manual where you can easily find the answer and solve the problem.

You can try again and again until you get a satisfactory result.

In general, you can transfer this work to Vector and do more creative tasks.

The translation is loose, but the meaning is something like this.

Source images in JPG format, GIF, PNG, BMP and TIFF. The result is in three quality options and in three formats: EPS, SVG and PNG. Upon completion, it is possible to repeat with a different desired quality and some editing.

• Next, completely FREE .

Completely in English, but everything is clear in use. A little more setup and manual work, but worth it.

• allows you to convert images to . You can either upload a file or provide a link to the image. It is also possible to apply digital effects.

In case of converting raster images (PNG or JPG) to SVG format, shapes and objects will be converted to black and white vector graphics, which scales without any loss of quality. Such images can be colored using free programs on working with vector images (etc.). Photographers in most cases will not achieve the desired result when converting a raster image to SVG format.

If you are converting any vector image(for example, eps or ai format), the converter will try to preserve all vector and color data, and will also ensure that the two files are as similar as possible.
